I picked up a used copy of Samba de Amigo for the Wii the other day for $5 at GameStop. Just five. The game, while not the greatest thing ever, is pretty damn awesome considering the low, low price tag, which got my brain to thinking up this thread. So... Does anyone know of any other games, used or new, that they've seen going for cheap at GameStop or eBay for the Wii that are worth the low investment? Think under $20 and under.

Here's three awesome (and cheap) suggestions:
Klonoa - It's a beautiful remake of the classic PS1 platformer!
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure - A fun and quirky puzzle game from Capcom.
A Boy and His Blob - A remake of a NES puzzle/platformer. Thankfully, it's easier and way more fun than the original game. It's has great 2-D graphics with a cartoon-like quality.

GUH ... the Wii version of Samba is SOOOOOOOO broken, the standard Wiimote tech just can't keep up with the speed of the game for anything beyond easy.
You can 100% perfect the hard/insane levels on Dreamcast with the acutal radio signal technology that the original game hardware used.
It's so sad, such a missed opportunity and RIGHT before the Motion Plus tech was developed.
Hopefully Sega will revisit that game for Move or Kinect, or even for Wii with the Motion Plus.
But, to your original request:
I second - MadWorld
it's a fun, violent and super stylish goal-based beat-em-up, and you should be able to snag it for around $10 or less these days.

Don't forget that the Wii also plays gamecube games, if you have a backwards compatible system.
You would also need a gamecube controller to play them but those are also very cheap.

Rather then a useless unreviewed list of games, some of my picks with reviews.

You should be able to get Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for fairly cheap. I'm one of the people who actually enjoyed the main game but everyone seems to universally like Fate of Atlantis which is included as an unlockable bonus game(which is very easy to unlock).
